Hi! I'm Benjamin Franklin and I was a scientist who was used for wit and wisdom.

A constitution convention is called to change the Articles of Confederation. Making changes required amending the Articles of confederation, Because the National Government had been granted no power to regulate trade among the states. Every state is sending delegates to Maryland and Philadelphia in May of 1787.

When they started the convention, they first had to elect a President for the Convention . They choose Washington for the President , every delegate voted for him. When the meeting was in progress they needed complete privacy, The windows remained shut, guards posted at the door. Whenever the door was opened they had to completely stop talking about whatever they were talking about.

There is solution to two of the problems in New Jersey plan. The first problem is Distribution of political power. The solution to that is each state would only have 1 vote. The second problem is slavery. The solution slavery is 3/5 of the slave population would be counted when setting direct tax on the states.
